To me the strangest and saddest thing about these MAGA types talking about Valhalla is that Odin hung on the world tree to win, for the people, the runes - language, organised thought. And the same MAGA types are doing their utmost to take that gift away.

Pretty sure there's a Nine Inch Nails lyric that addresses this moment perfectly.

like 70% of the worst evil being perpetrated in the world right now is caused by rich men trying to avoid death. this is their underlying hope for AI, and genetic engineering. if true immortality ever existed we would have a moral responsibility to murder the inventors and bomb their labs.

Please do something, Canada. This is an outrageous incident and I really hope you're not going to let it slide. I'm sorry my country is full of violent garbage people.

They‘ll keep making UBI studies until they happen upon the one combo of people who all „fail“ to make something out of their lives, and then they’ll stop and parade that one study around until eternity.

Hulk Hogan exemplified the idea that, with focus and discipline and belief, a person really can become a nauseating piece of ambulatory human garbage.

Look at this list, an absolute monsters of rock tour of women* in horror movies right here - we were so lucky literally everyone on our wish list said yes * and legendary producer Giles Edward as the token chap, once again proving himself as a proper bona fide money-where-his-mouth-is ally

Mecha-Hitler birthed an AI girlfriend & hooked it up with Claude. Ppl are gonna get 1-shotted by the 8-dimensional lobotomy this husk of a memory of love from a dying brain is gonna slow-blade into their lobes. "Congrats, babe! We've got schizophrenia." I guess we really are THIS infantilized.

The internet is back in Gaza! I'm relieved to have heard from Baha after five days of silence. He still urgently needs help but at least he and his family are alive. Please assist them if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/brgdd-help... @mommunism.bsky.social

A classic (not mine) but: “An old man takes a young man to a bar and ruins his life forever.”

It is possible to become an algorithmically generated person. A quite literal Non-Player Character.

*World's best-selling novelist Walter Scott, so wrecked by gallstones and opium that he wrote and published a novel and completely forgot about it

"I hurt hundreds of you but now I'm hurting so I'd like you - the people I hurt - to blow up your entire lives to stop me hurting. At least until it is, once again, financially viable for me to fuck you over."

cool does this mean i dont have to get a job

I'm just a good time.

>would kill the AI industry imagine thinking that this would be a bad thing.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Bear in mind the AI voices will have been ripped off from people like me who, until now, have voiced stories. Our jobs will be diminished or gone, replaced by voices stolen from us without any recompense.

As far as its funders are concerned, the purpose of AI is literally and explicitly to oppress labour. If you wanna post how LLMs are useful for something and you ignore the literal reason for all that funding, you’re whitewashing and you know it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

YIKES @soundcloud.dev no thank you

That last comment is this entire boondoggle in a nutshell.

Uh oh guys. Someone on TikTok called me a “city female who needs Ozempic and has terrible opinions” so obviously I have to quit my lil comedy job and just kidding I came.

#D&D System Resource Document 5.2, covering the latest 2024 edition of the 5e rules, has been released:

How I arrived on BlueSky.

I am watching the movie Heat and I wanted to check if the actress is a young Angelina Jolie so I went to google and-

added something important to fallen london this week

My Canadian home is a small town where you’ll walk home & two cops are trying to talk a bearded man off the roof of the power company as he holds forth to the horizon like a doomed king, & the mom-and-pop coffee shop’s notice board lets you know there’s a paranormal investigation workshop next week.

This seems like the worst of both worlds. Hong Kong airport.

Doing an international move transitions through various phases before finally departing: denial, acceptance, RAM flooding, strangers taking your stuff and, finally, living like a contract killer.

Study after study has shown that the wealthier a person is the less empathy they have. She is wealthier than the royal family. Money is power. Power in the hands of someone profoundly lacking in empathy. Let it go.

Objectively, being able to make things without AI makes us better at making things than the people who can't. I'm better than the kids who copied my homework, and you're the same person pulling the same crap 30 years later.

wait come back

Everything is terrible. This, however, is not.

Honestly? Not that stupid.

For this I would surrender a lung.

For the new kids: Rule 1: Where there is value, there is crime. Rule 2: A fine is a price. Rule 3: Nothing ever stops until a Rich White Guy goes to jail. Rule 4: There are no Moriartys Rule 5: Everyone can be conned.

Wanna cry today? This man's sincerity and openness is lovely.

Tired of the rain interrupting our reception of Would I Lie To You?, my brother has picked up a lever-action .3030 and a thermal monocular and gone to hunt his nemesis razorback through the scrub and midnight downpour. Looks like fun, to be honest.

Visiting family in the middle of nowhere. We’re in for 1000ml of rain. You can tell when the next front is about to roll in because the TV reception drops out.
